Su Qi left a few pills for the old beggar and told him to take them on time. They would come back tomorrow to give him acupuncture.
The old beggar looked at Gu Beiheng reluctantly, covering his head and said:
"Young master. I remember that the master has a manor land outside Yunzhou City. I will give you the deeds when I get better." The old beggar always felt that after seeing Gu Beiheng, he could live for another few decades.
Gu Beiheng looked at him with deep eyes, "My name is Gu Beiheng. You are about the same age as my father, so just call me Beiheng.
As for the young masters you mentioned, everything is still unknown. Maybe I just look like them."
The old beggar moved his lips and nodded in agreement.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng left here and returned to the inn.
As soon as I entered, the innkeeper pulled me aside to chat, "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, I want to tell you something. You have to be careful recently. I heard that the Ban Mansion is going to make a big move. Yunzhou City can only enter but not leave."
"How powerful is the Ban Mansion in Yunzhou City? Is the Lord of Yunzhou City just a decoration?"
"Shh." The innkeeper quickly signaled Su Qi to stop talking nonsense.
"The City Lord of Yunzhou City is decided by a vote of several major families. This time, the in-laws of Patriarch Ban are the City Lords. As long as he does nothing wrong, the City Lord will remain until his death."
"I see. No wonder the Ban family is so arrogant."
The innkeeper was stunned.
Is Madam Gu dissatisfied with the Ban Mansion's style of doing things? Or has she been bullied by the Ban Mansion people these days?
"Madam Gu, there's a saying that goes, 'When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.' Our Yue family is the imperial merchant family in Dongqi Country, but in Yunzhou City, we still have to look after the faces of several major families."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng returned to the courtyard. She asked Ying Yi to buy some servants and bring them to the courtyard of the former Qin Mansion.
"Change the sign. Replace it directly with the Gu Mansion sign."
"Yes, ma'am."
Bai Zhi brought two cups of tea and asked in a low voice, "Madam, I have asked the waiter to bring the food over. Let's go eat first."
"good."
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng went to have dinner first. She also told Gu Beiheng about the matter of the Wanjian Villa owner's wife.
"Is she your biological mother?"
Gu Beiheng shook his head and said nothing. He didn't know either. Judging from the current situation, it looked very much like Gu Beiheng's biological mother.
At nightfall.
Someone sent a secret letter saying that the Northwest Army had begun attacking in batches. Now all the nearby cities had been captured by the Northwest Army, and the scattered soldiers had been recruited by Li Tianfang.
Li Tianfang wrote to ask Gu Beiheng about his next goal.
Gu Beiheng asked Ying Si to bring the military map.
These military maps were drawn by Gu Beiheng and several people around him when he was a scout.
Later, several copies of this military map were made.
Several deputy generals each distributed a copy.
Gu Beiheng drew a few circles on the map and said to Ying Si, "Write to me. Attack southward and capture Wei'an and Yanling.
I'll have Zheng Suocuo lead his men to attack a city to the north. Then we'll take down all the cities along this line." The line Gu Beiheng was referring to happened to be the border with Dai Viet.
Ying Si began to write a letter, recording a brief summary of what Gu Beiheng said.
"Ying Si, write another letter and send it to Hulu Mountain. Tell Zheng Suocuo and the others to send all the surplus food in Hulu Mountain to the Northwest Army to support them."
"There are quite a few people in Hulu Mountain. Currently, there are tens of thousands of people who can go to the battlefield."
"It's okay, let Zheng Suocuo go to Mengjiazhuang to transfer food." There is now a mountain road between Mengjiazhuang and Hulushan, which makes it very convenient to transport food.
Ying Si quickly wrote two letters to Gu Beiheng.
After reading it, Gu Beiheng asked him to summon a flying eagle and send the secret letter away with the flying eagle.
the next day.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng went to the old beggar first, and then went to the newly purchased yard.
Su Qi arrived at the courtyard and started working frantically. All the furniture in the main courtyard was arranged using furniture from the space.
The two of them also arranged the beds needed in the room, even the bedding and pillows were all complete.
Su Qi likes the bedding in the space, but doesn't like the bedding bought here.
The kitchen knives and water tanks were also filled with space water. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, pork, vegetables, eggs, and mutton were all taken and placed in the kitchen.
Wait until Su Qi has almost finished arranging the place.
Yingyi, Baizhi, and Yingsi came over.
Each of them drove a carriage, and the three carriages were full of people.
There are all maids, servants, and stewards.
Yingyi got off the carriage first, and he jumped onto the door with the sign that read "Gu Mansion" and hung it on the door.
Then he came down, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "You know what, these two words are really vigorous and powerful."
Bai Zhi tied the whip around her waist, looked at the messy corners on both sides of the door and said:
"Come over and clean this place up later."
"Yes. Miss Baizhi."
We bought more than twenty people. They were all thin and you could tell from their words and actions that they were sold out by wealthy families.
Yingyi took these people to meet Su Qi first.
Yingyi, Baizhi and Yingsi found that the yard was not dirty or messy, which was different from the haunted house they had imagined.
Even the garden is very clean.
Gu Beiheng was strolling around the garden when he happened to meet Su Qi who came to look for him.
"Beiheng. Yingsi just said there is news about Dabao and Erbao." Su Qi waved her hand and shouted.
Two figures quietly hid among the green bamboos.
Gu Beiheng glanced at the bamboo grove with a feeling, his doubts vanishing. He quickly approached Su Qi and asked, "Qiqi, are Dabao and Erbao in Yunzhou City?"
"Ying Er and the others went to pick up Dabao and Erbao. I heard from the person who brought the news that Mr. Ke took in about twenty little beggars. He said that he would keep them for Dabao and Erbao after signing their indentures." Su Qi also wanted to pick up the two children in person.
But I still resisted the urge.
Gu Beiheng put his arm around Su Qi's shoulders and turned his head to look at the yard surrounded by green bamboo.
Su Qi noticed something strange about Gu Beiheng and turned to look over. "Beiheng, what are you looking at?"
"I always feel like there's someone here. Do you think there's anyone living in that courtyard surrounded by green bamboo?"
Su Qi nodded thoughtfully and said:
"There aren't so many ghosts. It's just that someone doesn't want this house to be sold. Everything here is so clean, it really looks like someone maintains it day after day."
After a pause, Su Qi frowned again and said:
"But they let us buy this house. I always feel that it has something to do with you, Beiheng."
Since this is most likely the courtyard of Gu Beiheng’s biological mother, the people who stay here should be familiar with Zhan Wang and Qin Wan.
Naturally, he would feel a little closer to Gu Beiheng, who looked like a combination of Zhan Wang and Qin Wan.
This is also the reason why Su Qi never went to other places to check.
She wants to use only the main courtyard and part of the garden for the time being.
As for other places, we'll see.
Maybe.
One day the people there will be willing to come out and meet them.
Gu Beiheng had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He always felt that the eyes looking at him from the depths of the green bamboo had no ill intentions.
Youyou took another deep look.
Gu Beiheng turned around and left with Su Qi.
The Qin Mansion in Xukou Alley has now become the Gu Mansion, although the sign has only been hung up for one day.
The news still spread to the streets of Yunzhou City, big and small.
Everyone was curious about who lived in such a scary yard.
